Speed Controller of Switched Reluctance Motor

ABSTRACT
Fuzzy logic control has become an important methodology in control engineering. The paper
proposes a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) for controlling a speed of SRM drive. The objective of
this work is to compare the operation of P& PI based conventional controller and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) based fuzzy logic controller to highlight the performances of the effective
controller. The present work concentrates on the design of a fuzzy logic controller for SRM
speed control. The result of applying fuzzy logic controller to a SRM drive gives the best
performance and high robustness than a conventional P & PI controller. Simulation is carried out
using Matlab/Simulink.

CONCLUSION
Thus the SRM dynamic performance is forecasted and by using MATLAB/simulink the model is
simulated. SRM has been designed and implemented for its speed control by using P, PI
controller and AI based fuzzy logic controller. We can conclude from the simulation results that
when compared with P & PI controller, the fuzzy Logic Controller meet the required output. This
paper presents a fuzzy logic controller to ensure excellent reference tracking of switched
reluctance motor drives. The fuzzy logic controller gives a perfect speed tracking without
overshoot and enchances the speed regulation. The SRM response when controlled by FLC is
more advantaged than the conventional P& PI controller.
